The centerfold.

The idea that Judas was doing God's will is he;ld by a number of religous scholars.

Seth, I have to look into this, but there are mentions of a Gospel of Judas going way further back than 1911. It's just there has never been an extant copy found. This one is quite old, and appears to have been a copy of a still earlier text.

I need to read a whole lot more and better writing on the whats and wherefors of this particular artifact before I have any idea what I think of it, but I think early Christian gospels that didn't make it into the cut are very interesting and quite revealing of what the Jesus movement was like beofre it became codified into a single 'Christianity'.

I reserve judgement.
